    The anti-union, pro corporation people who believe Rockstar’s claim that GTA has always tried to be apolitical… Despite the fact it’s always been a game about social critique, and the problems in the culture.

      Yeah, I remember GTA 3 had a hilarious radio station parodying right wing talk radio. I loved listening to it.

      People who think anythign is apolitical are not worth talking to anyway. Being apolitical is itself politial.

          tbh lots of atheists just have the behaviour of a church-avoiding christian with the serial numbers filed off. it takes some level of effort to identify and unlearn the christian thought patterns that are everywhere in societies that are half christian and half atheist, and a lot of the online atheist movement doesn’t do that either

    Bro, Gosling has been living his best life. He genuinely seems like one of the happiest and chill dudes in showbusiness.

      I was in the bathroom of a BedStuy bar in February, doing my thing, when I heard a loud banging on the door.

      “Be out in a sec” I said, figuring it was just some drunk.

      A second later the lock is picked. Virgil, puffing on a Juul in defiance of local law, steps in. I start to say “what the fu . . . .”, but he cuts me off by blowing his mango vape in my face, along with what smelled like halal cart meat. “Shut up, you lepton” he said, then took out his keys and took a large bump of cocaine. As he replaced them his portable bidet fell from the interior pocket of his cheap blazer. He looked at me again with scorn in his eyes and said “Are you gonna sit there peeing out your doo-doo ass all night?”.

      At this point I was getting mad, but as I started to speak he just said “what? What?” loudly as I did. By that time the bartender had come to see what the problem was - before I could say a word Virgil said “hey man, this junkie was shooting up in here, call the cops”.

      I was thrown out, and my credit card was left behind at the bar. The worst part was the next day there were 14 Cape Cods and 4 Brandy Alexanders charged to it.
